The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-11-02

New SOUTH WALES has sent to the
Queen for her approval an act facilitate
ing divorce, which equals the famous
Connecticut laws. 1t provides that
whenever husband and wife remain
away from each other for three years
without personal or written communi-
cation, either may get divorce. Cru
city continued for two years is legiti-
mate ground against the husband, but
not against the wife. A continual habit
of drunkenness for two years IS, how
ever, valid plea for either party to
put against the other, provided 1T pre-
vents the husband from providing for
the wife or the wife performing her do
nestle duties. A man, apparently,
may keep as drunk as he pleases, pro-
vided he gives his wife plenty OF
MONEY!

this style of front hair, a short slight

becoming to long faces and is adopted

ladies who wear a coil of braids. This

STRANGE CAPERS.



1t is strange how some people are af-

feet altitude of Cheyenne said police
mar Bean in a recent conversation, as re-
corded in the Cheyenne SIM.
"A short time ago a book agent reached
here from Denver, He was rather a ca

The town should see q wedding,
The golden curls were blown and hlent'
Through watts of fragrance treadlng;
And OH they murmured, well content,
Twill be a golden wedding
"'Tis time" said he, TO claim her vow,'
And forth he went and found her;
But She was grown a beauty now,
And half the town was round her.

Though tears were ripe for shedding,

Al. where's that golden wedding
He flung away, and left her there.
Such heart sore. tear-drops shedding,
And rossips cried. in blank despair:
Hes spoiled the rarest wedding
He sailed the seas. he beat the French,
Two score good years he tarrled,
And then he thought; That little Wench-

Next week q blum old tar rolled past,
The gabled High street treadlng,
Aud ancient gossips crowed; AT last
We're like to have the wedding"

The gray their locks were threading
And some with smiles and some with tears,
Beheld their silver wedding.

EXERCISE FOR FOWLS.


ment on Domestic Poultry.
The more we study the habits of do
nestle poultry the more we are inn
pressed with the conviction of the necC
of exercise. Young and old, large and
small are benefited by proper exercise.
Confinement and inertnrss generate
sickness a. well as bad habits: of the
latter we may mention Contemplating
and egg-eating. 1t i, to he regretted
that it is impossible to give every flock
a daily run through the fields, gardens
or byways, but we can make II shift OF
necessity by improvising artificial
means whereby confined birds shall
have something to do in the way of en-
%ercise. A few minutes each day could
be profitably devoted to Spading in the
yards; this would induce the fowls to
scratch. Heaps of coal ashes, sand OF
any loose material scattered about, and
in which some small grain could be
buried, would give them agreeable eX,
crcise during their efforts to u"neartl
the kernels.
Fowls intended for breeding pur
poses should have all the exercise the,
can get. No amount of food or attend
ance can compensate for the fresh nj
and wholesome exercise they Obtain
when at liberty. Confinement deterior
ates the stock and impairs the organ
Of fertility. Darwin says: ''ln Europ
close confinement has a marked effec
on the fertility of the fowl; in France
has been found that with fowls Above
considerable freedom twenty per cen
only Of their eggs fail to hatch; wit
less freedom forty per cent. failed, an
in close confinement sixty per cen
